The bodies of two Virginia victims of the attacks in Mumbai are being returned home.

A meditation community in Virginia where Alan Scherr and his teenage daughter, Naomi, lived said in a posting on its Website a memorial service is planned "at a future date."

Monday's posting by the Sychronicity Foundation did not state when the Scherrs' bodies would be returned.

The community's spiritual leader, Master Charles, also offered a message of thanks for the "love and support" extended to Synchronicity during its ordeal.

Scherr and Naomi were among 25 people affiliated with Synchronicity who went to India on a pilgrimage. Four other members were wounded in the attacks.

Meanwhile, a Richmond-area couple is back from Mumbai, safe, sound and shaken by the experience.

McKinney "Mac" Taylor and his wife, Jan, were trapped in their Taj Mahal Hotel room as the killing raged last week. Over the course of 44 hours, they sustained themselves with nuts and orange juice.

Back in their Henrico County home Sunday, Mac Taylor said the trip was like something out of a Steven Speilberg movie.

While they waited out the rampage, the couple's five children and 20 grandchildren fretted.

WHSV Poll
A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
